Just glanced at this weeks games. Gonna be a tough one, all those 25 to 40 point spreads kind of puts some guesswork into things. The SEC vs high school teams is almost embarrassing.

You saying this could be your first losing week of the year?

I think this is your way of talking smack and rubbing our noses in it when you hit 15 of 20.

I think he's looking at 5 of 20 this week. Time for someone to make a big move.

He may hit all 20 this week, just to put this thing to bed.

I haven’t done the math yet- but according to the Common Core - I need about 48 out of 20 to catch up. Maybe more.
Probably ought to crank out a quick pivot table.

Last time I had a good week was early in the season with these big spreads. I got this.

This is where I can’t not take the points and I pay the price.

Where did you get the FSU/BC spread? It opened at BC -1 and is at -1.5 now. That's a big difference from the -8.5. I think BC rolls FSU, but if Vegas thinks it's a 1 to 2 point game, this makes it tough.

Ox has a history of "tweaking" the spreads to make it more entertaining. In his defense, I think just about 100% of people would have picked BC at -1.5, so at least this makes it a little more challenging. Plus we all know FSU has given up and it's going to be a blowout regardless.

There was no spread at the beginning of the week. So I made up my own, one that I thought would get the picks to as close to 50/50 as possible. At -1, it would be 99% BC picked. Where's the fun in that?

I made up several spreads this week that weren't available, such as the Alabama game and the UF game. I also took a total stab in the dark with the A&M game, and actually got that one fairly close to reality.

P.S. - Just looked up the real spreads for Bama and Florida. They are 51 and 39, so I was pretty damn close in my guesses.

Got it. I'm on BC....but very leery w/ the vegas line being 1.5.

Just some stats on this week. Eight people tied for first at 14, but Gulfstream was the closest tiebreaker score (65). Two of those 8 didn't even bother to put in a tiebreaker score.

The number of people that picked out of 20 total games:

14: 8
13: 7
12: 16
11: 16
10: 19
09: 13
08: 11
07: 12
06: 1
05: 2

TOTAL: 105

My picks suck but I nailed the Gators total score right on the money

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

For the 9th straight week, I had a score of either 9 or 10.

 

[gatormandan]

I would have had a decent week but I screwed up and didn't pick until after the games started so I missed several picks.

And what's your excuse for that?

 

[gatormandan]

I don't have one.
